Staples has it. They have a $200 off promo of any BTO lappie over $999 + HP or Compaq $100 rebate. Go for it. You can do something like this

Some guy did the following deal
$1149.00 pentium 4 1.7ghz 512kb cache (NOT a typo, it's pentium 4) 128mb ram dvd 20gb 14.1" 2 batteries + free external usb floppy drive (after rebates)
$69.99 5" black and white tv
$179.94 winxp pro upgrade

- $50.00(79183 coupon)
- $200.00(coupon for laptops over $999)
+ $70.05(tax)

$594.12 grand total

The 12% or $100 customer appreciation ended this weekend. So you may not get it. But still this is a deal for $700. But make sure they put that pentium 4 chip in there.

you will not get that $100 because customer appreciation ended this weekend. Usually staples carries the promos over for a couple of days but my staples didn't allow me to do it yesterday. So it depends on your luck.

This was another deal that i heard about
HP ze4000
15" XGA TFT Display
Buil-in 56K modem
128MB DDR
Mobile Intel P4 1.8Ghz
20GB H/D
8X DVD
WIndows XP Home
Extra 8 Cell Lion Battery

-------------------------
Win XP Prof Upgrade $99.99 ($179.99 - $80 instnat, mananger did the price override)

-$200 BTO Laptop.
-$100 Customer appreciation
-$50 off $200
------------
x 6.00% Tax = $59.57

TOTAL $1052.47

-$100 HP Rebate
-$75.00 WinXP Prof Rebate

=$877.45 FINAL TOTAL.

Remove the Customer appreciation $100 Off you still pay $977.45 < a grand
